If an ordered item arrives broken once, it’s a shitty delivery company. 1-star probably isn’t warranted unless the company is shitty about replacing it.
If an ordered item arrives broken regularly, it’s a problem that the company should’ve fixed.
If a game doesn’t work on one person’s machine, maybe they’ve got a bunch of malware installed or something.
If it doesn’t work on many people’s machines that meet the recommended specs, the company is at fault and deserves bad reviews.
If it runs poorly on the recommended specs, bad reviews are warranted.
I was referring to where they said
Bro, it’s a YOSHI game
Going based on the expectations set by Yoshi’s Island, one wouldn’t be off to expect challenge in Yoshi’s Story, its follow-up.
I dunno, Yoshi’s Island can get pretty hard…
Up in Canada, I’ve only ever heard weed whacker
Thanks for sharing! Never would’ve known about this otherwise.
I do this.
These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.
There isn’t really a single sliding scale of “complexity” when it comes to certain tasks.
Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can’t count the number of R’s in the word “strawberry”.
Meanwhile, a script that could count the number of instances of a letter in a word could count those R’s, but it couldn’t divide any two numbers.
Similarly, we didn’t complain that a typewriter couldn’t put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.
There are plenty of geniuses out there who aren’t great at board games. Using a tool not fit for task is more of an issue with the person using the wrong tool than an issue with the tool itself.
I do get where you’re coming from though. There are definitely people who don’t understand why a ChatBot wouldn’t be good at chess.
I’d be interested in seeing marketing of ChatGPT as a competitive boardgame player. Is there any?
Going forward? RetroAchievements, Steam, GOG, and LaunchBox to tie it all together. PSN trophy integration to LaunchBox would be cool too, because PS3 stuff is never coming to any of those platforms and I have history there, too.
For historical stuff, that’s in my memory exclusively.
Webpages bouncing stuff around as various elements load in.
Back in the day, the space would be reserved, so if something hadn’t loaded yet, that space would be blank.
Nowadays, you’ll be reading something (or worse – trying to click on something), and it’ll get bounced around because some other element of the webpage got loaded in.
The picture is a bit misleading to the rest of your post, because given the picture and the title, I was inclined to answer “Right there”! Lol
I was wondering why you’d need to check receipts, but then I realized you probably meant old ones, haha
run by a guy that was so afraid of paying child support that he literally killed himself
Where can I read more about that?
Of course, you’d then be paying monthly enough to cover a water heater’s entire replacement in one year! Haha
They’re in the business of providing (expensive) peace of mind. Not the business of providing good value for money.
Ontario, Canada. They’re elsewhere in Canada, but seem most prevalent here
Thank you for sharing. I don’t have direct personal experience with a rental water heater – I was thrilled to find out the place I bought was built before it became the norm, and none of the prior owners got duped into getting a subscription.
Subscriptions suck. The only exceptions are if you literally have too much money to care. But most people don’t have the money to throw around like that.
Yeah, it was “none” for me because DVDs didn’t exist in my childhood. Well, at least not in my home.
